Existing knowledge

SNOWMAN Landscape

The SNOWMAN Landscape is a database of SNOWMAN, EU and national research projects, categorized by the SNOWMAN Network research areas and research questions. We aim to provide a better overview of all research projects in the field of soil and groundwater in Europe

Goals of the SNOWMAN Landscape

Create a ‘map’ of existing knowledge

Create a ‘map’ for researchers, showing where there is work done on similar research questions

Create awareness among funders that if you join SNOWMAN, you have access to much more information/research results

Help defining gaps

The results of the projects are presented in a series of reports from Sustainable Remediation. The accumulated knowledge gathered by the programme have been summarised and the most important results have been identified.
